I am interested in understanding how the universe got populated with particles after inflation (reheating), the rich nonlinear dynamics during this phase and its observational consequences. I occasionally delve into more astrophysical problems from CMB spectral distortions to exoplanets. On the mathematical side, I am fascinated by solitons, their interactions and their relevance to cosmology.

I tend to get really excited about teaching and public outreach. For some of my artwork (unrelated to physics) click here.

Before moving to Cambridge, I was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT (Sept 2011-2012) and a Pappalardo Fellow at MIT from 2008-2011. I received my Ph.D in Physics from Stanford University under Prof. Roger Blandford and Prof. Bob Wagoner. I pursued my undergraduate education at UTA before which, I lived in Surat, India.
